Where the WAGNER cools his team,
Where, between the banks Of moss,
Stand the stepPiDg-stones to cross.
Der them comes n little maid,
Laughing, not n bit afraid
Mother, there upon the shore,
Crossed them safely just before.
This the little lassie's plea
Wait for me, wait for mel
All, so swift tho waters run
One false step, twas all undone;
Little heart begins to beat,
Fearing for the little feet,
Soon her fear will all be lost,
When the stepping-stones are crossed.
Three more yet on which to stand
Two more-one more-tben on land
'Tis the little lassie's plea
Wait for me, wait for me
All, for you, ny laughing lass,
When the years have come to pass
May One still be near to guide
While you cross life's river wide,
When no helping hand is near,
None, il you should call to hear
Think, however far away,
Mother still knows all you say;
Zen in heaven heeds your plea

ROLLING Corn IN GuANo.-Owiny to

ROLLING Corn IN GUANo.-Owiny to
your oft repeated request to subscribers to
send you au account Of any experiments
they may mako in the way Of farming, and
also having seen it often stated that seed
of any sort would bo killed BY coming into
direct contact with guau0 while sproutiug,
I have concluded while sending my sub
scription to your paper, to give you an ac-
count of q small experiment made last
spring of rolling corn in guano before plant
ing. | soaked my corn until it was con-
siderably swollen, and then put in two por.
tions of guauo and ono of plaster, stirring
the corn until it became perfectly coated
with the mixture, and assure you it came
up finely, and did not have to replant a
single hill where the guano was used. 1t
had a much better color, and got out of the
way of the cut-worm much sooner
than that where plaster alone was
used. L think it quite a desidcratum
to have something that will give
corn good start aud push it up out
of the clod', and at so trifing an expense
bushel ofguano is enough toplant large
field, used in that way. have frequently
noticed that, during cold sprirg, c0ru is a
long time taking start, and sometimes is
almost entirely destroyed by the cut-worm,
so would recommend all farmers to give
my plan (for shall always pursue it here
sfter,) trial, and if they are not benefit
ted, it will not cost much. I cannot say
whether it affected the yield Of the crop,
but | think it did, as much as could be e1-
pected from so small portion.-En-

am sure, was the most exciting moment of
my life. l did not stop to look back. l
simply dug my spurs into NY pouy's Aauks
knowing if relaxed my speed even for IN
instant tho lion might spring upon me.
hven as it was, realized that any moment
might feel the creatures sharp claws in my
and the particular manner in which q
mountain lion is said to kill (by drawing
back the head Of the victim with one paw
until the neck i, broken) happened at this
moment to occur TO ME. 1t was not,
strictly speaking, cheerful reflection.
At the commencement Of tho mad gal
lop when, on several occasions, the lasso
slackened, owing to the huge bounds the,
creature took, shudaered and crouched
in my saddle, fearing that the next minute
might bo my last For a time my cap
tive rent the air with his cries, which SO
frightened my pony that he needed no urg-
ing on; he was doing his level best.
So tho screaming grew less frequent
and finally ceased altogether, and noticed
with satisfaction that tho lasso remained
perfectly taut all tho time then for the
first time looked back, and from appear
ances concluded that my captive was dead.
l had however, as can perhaps be imagined
a strong desire to make assurance doubly
sure, and rode some distance further before
stopping. Even then was in no haste to
dismount until had ridden around the
huge cat several times, and assursi myself
beyond all doubt that he was dead. He
proved to be fine specimen, measuring a
little over four feet from snout to tail root
(his tail measured twenty six inchcs), but
the long drag 1 had givon him, fully half a
mile should say, had almost spoiled his
skin. The lasso had wore completely
through the skin around the neck, and
buried itself in the fssh-indeed, believe
if had dragged him much further it
would have decapitatcd him completely.
When wounded, mountain lions, as they
are always called in that section, arc con-
sidered dangerous to encounter, and no
doubt-earriod away by my desire to kill
one-I behaved in = reckless manner. At
all events, it is an experience that should
not like to go through with again.

One IDEA ON SEED CoRN-Nr. 6ditor.-Ob.
ssrvation. satisfactory to myself, leads me to
the belief that the prolific quality Of corn de.
pends in very great measure upon the thick
ness OF the crop from which the seed is taken.
All farmers know if corn be planted close the
number and size Of the ears are lessened, while
il greater distance be givon. the plant bears
large and, in many cases, double ears. NV
idea is. IL corn be crowded for succession OF
years, it will, il may so express myself, ac
quire tho habit Of producing lightly, which
property it will not lose for several years, oven
under different cultivation. Take seed from
crop which has been thus crowded and plant
nt any distance You please and you will have
some stalks without ears, and many with but
one small one. i have found the most prolific
double-eared corn, after several years clo.e
planting, lose its prolific character and yield
but one ear to the stalk. think, therefore,
every farmor should plant portion of his crop
thin, expressly for seed, and from this select
the larger Of the double ears for planting.
Seed, thu, selected, may bs planted much
closer than that commonly used.

There were over thirty offenders before the

docket were charged with violating the Sunday

Moore, VIM. Hindel, Jacob Strecher. James NJ.

Weireck who made most of the arrests
testified that Burns locked him in his saloon,
while he went out ostensibly Co got his coat,
gravating one that the Mayor fined Burns $25
and costs and added ten days in the work house.
Then the officer showed that BErns was selling
without any license, and he was fined another
800 for that Burns keeps in st. Clair Hall, on
Indiana avenue and the officers say has always
been the most troublesome saloon keeper in the

Hindle and Jacob Streicher were fined $25 and
costs each. Duvall took change to Squire
Walpole, and the other cases were continued.
BADLY COMPLICATED CASE.
The most knotty case that has been in
the Superior Court was argued before Judges
Howe and Walker yesterday afternoon It is
suit brought by the Colby Wringer Company of
Massachusetts,. against Mrs. Eliza Porter as
bondsman of J. NJ Porter, defaulting salesman
in the employ of the company. Several years
ago Porter appointed as the Cincinnati agent
of the company. and Mrs. Eliza Porter, who
owns property in this city. but resides in Kansas
became his bondsman Porter became a default
er for ST.. 400 and suit brought against Mrs.
Porter here the bond The suit brings the laws
of four States into contact. 1t is question
whether the suit should have been brought in
Indiana not, and whether Mrs. Porter could
legally give bond where the company did busi-
ness in one State, the agent in another and she
living in Kansas and owning property except
IN Indiana. The was before Judge Howe,
and it presented such knottv questions that he
extended invitation to Judge Walker to sit
with him. They have taken tho argument nm
der advisement.
